 * He had a link to where the widget code came from, so I was hunting for that:
 * [http://www.tomwoods.com/superpac-superbomb-widget/](http://www.tomwoods.com/superpac-superbomb-widget/)
 * But like I said, I’ve looked all through the site files and can’t find it, and
   it’s not there in the widget list. How else might I search?

 * It’s the animated “superbomb” widget there. You’ll see it appears only on post/
   archive pages.
 * He said he actually set it that way on purpose…as in he was actually able to 
   insert the code (somewhere) and set (or code) the properties for what kind of
   pages it appeared on.
 * But like I said, I can’t figure out how he did this, or even where this thing
   is within the website.
 * Is there a practical way to find it?

 * Well, technically there isn’t a problem. We just don’t want the widget there 
   anymore and want to remove the code. But I can’t find the dang thing anywhere.
 * I can’t figure out how he got it there or how it’s even appearing

 * Another thing is, if you look at the source code for the page as it’s displayed,
   it shows up labeled as a multimedia box…
 *     ```
       <div id="sidebars">
       			<div id="multimedia_box" class="custom_box">
       				<div id="custom_box">
       <center><object classid=".......
       ```
   
 * And he has the multimedia box enabled as a sidebar, but it’s empty in the widgets
   list. And on the Design Options page in the Thesis installation, both the Multimedia
   Box and the Feature Box are disabled.

 * Yeah hardcoded is the first thing I thought of when it didn’t show up in the 
   widgets list. He’s using Thesis, so I first looked in the custom files, since
   those would likely be the only ones changed…but when there wasn’t anything out
   of the ordinary there, I started going through others. Like I was saying, I got
   so desperate I started to change all the file extensions to txt so I could search
   the code within the files, but I’ve still turned up nothing.
 * And I’m almost positive it doesn’t have anything to do with plugins because there
   aren’t any even active that would be close to that. Most of the plugins are just
   security ones. The closest thing would be “Shortcode Exec PHP”, which I wouldn’t
   think would be it, but I deactivated it anyway…still there.
 * Is there a better way to search for the widget code in the website files?
